On November 5th, we invite everyone to come together and hold the banks accountable for their greedy display of democracy. They got billions in bailouts and get millions in tax subsidies and have done nothing to help the economy but make their shareholders and CEOs richer. They have foreclosed on millions of hard-working families and denied them refinancing on their loans. They have lost billions of the American people's money through risky gambling and illegal activities. We must stand up to them and say "NO MORE"!!

So on this day before the elections, we encourage everyone to move their money and move their debt from big banks into credit unions and local community banks. Since November of last year, over $100 million has been moved, and we hope to see another $100 million moved on this day.

Please share this event with all groups, organizations and occupy movements across the nation. Thanks!!

Lets go for a true Jubilee. Start today. Do not borrow money or use banks. Cash only! No debt. Do not buy or sell to anyone who works for the system. This way maybe they will think twice about what they are participating in. When enough people do this the system loses power and control over the masses. See who is behind the Slave system aka the beast system at 7/7 ripple effect video on youtube. Search nov. 5th Jubilee. see jahtruth . net for 12 laws that will set this planet back into a peace and prosperous world. Good luck in your search for good and truth! Long live the fighters!

Hey Canadians, Desjardins is the way to go! Co-op banking and no tax evasion. Unlike the big 5 banks who screw federal and provincial governments for over $80 billion a year in uncollected taxes with the help Barbados and Cayman tax havens.

I mention Desjardins because I live out East. But any move to a credit union will send a strong message.

Thanks for responding to my ACHIEVA Credit Union complaint posting this link! Kind of you to share and help :) http://www.hulu.com/watch/417228... Occupy San Francisco is doing some extraordinary things regarding starting and OCCUPY lending institution!

PS: Local banks not so great either. We are giving them business - what breaks to THEY give US? We need our own OCCUPY BANKING SYSTEM. Let's get some DIALOGUE started! Let's ask the CREDIT UNIONS and "community banks" WHAT'S GOIN' ON? They still not making enough off of us? Spotlight needs to be on THEM also. Would like to see them answer to this...

Can we have DIALOGUE regarding CREDIT UNIONS? Been with mine - ACHIEVA - for almost 4 years, have paid more than 3/4 of my debt (credit card). They refuse to re-finance or reset terms to lower the interest - although I am "an A-Plus customer." Still paying 11.99%. How are they helping us? We need to think yet of other alternatives or call them out just like we're doing with big banks. Occupy(ies) nationwide have sent them lots of business. What have they DONE FOR US LATELY? Love you OCCUPY!

With the way things are going it is a comfort to have this forum. I was trying to find <a href="http://www.advanceinsuranceusa.net/about.html">auto insurance in provo ut</a> this summer, after moving to a new state. I enjoyed the lively discussions on best practices and am happy. Thanks!

Agreed - the loans should only be taken out for necessary items that you can not pay out of pocket and spending should be kept to the essentials of life until we get this fucking disaster called the economy fixed/replaced. Fuck all luxury items until all are in a position to be able to "AFFORD" them.

True. I am down to paying rent, power, cell, and food and if I want a luxury item I save up for it. All that debt does, credit cards espcially, is give a percentage of your money to thebanks so they can use it against your best interests. Hell, I just saw acredit card flyer talking about 15 to 25 percent interest rates. And how do they get away with such obscene rates. By a lack of regulation and the fact that people keep applying for them

So am I. We will have 2 years to make sure our voice is heard in the next election. And if the corps/banks keep pushing like they have been it is entirely possible to get the critical mass needed to break their hold on our govt and economy.

2 yrs to communicate and evaluate those in office and their receptivity ( Edit = & Action = receptivity and action on the peoples issues ) to acting on issues for the people - 2 years to find people not in office that would be suitable for office and get them introduced to the public. 2 years to reach out to the public to raise their awareness of issues and roadblocks.

No one said it will be quick or easy. On the other hand the rewards will be well wortj it. I personally want to see more engineers, scientists, teachers, etc. in office and less lawyers and career politicians.
